Hi

There's a lovely book called "Keep the kettle boiling" (rhymes from a Belfast childhood), which has versions of many of the above in it.

Here's one with a definately Protestant slant,

Tune "The Happy Wanderer"

I love to go a wandering down by the chapel door,
And as I go I love to sing "The sash my father wore."

and what about the old favourite,

Here comes the bride, forty inches wide,
Slid down the bannister and broke her backside.
